This sounds crazy but I have had luck running it under tap water and tipping it on its face until it drips dry, then plug it in and let it run for a bit. I usually wash my fans in the summer.

In general, fans have a removable "fan guard" or grill, for cleaning and maintenance purposes. It may just snap on the front of the fan, or it's removal could involve finding and removing some screws. -- Do NOT run the fan under tap water. Not all of the water that gets into the interior will drip out. Water and electricity do not mix! Serious electrical shock could result! - This fan is also sold as a Honeywell product. Same product - Colors are blue and gray. It also costs more. Honeywell used provide a helpful user manual, with their products. You may have to go to the Honeywell website, to see if there's any useful information, like how to clean the fan.

I use Qtips to get dust off the grill. Just need a bit of patience, but music helps.

As others are saying, paintbrush or qtip or something else that can reach into the blades is best.The fanguard is NOT EASY to take off. I was ready for 6 philips head screws, but instead it is 3 philips and 3 stars. I have the star bits, but they don't fit into the tiny hole that the screw resides.I ended up cleaning the blades with a paintbrush as well, but the back of the motor (center part) is still caked in dust since I can't reach it. Pretty disappointed in the design choice of star screws.

I put it in the sink and just scrub it with soap and water. They clean up real easy!

Try scrubbing it with steel wool or a pumice stick. I use them as my final effort for cleaning things. If they don't work, return it or throw it away.

To clean it you can rub a half of a lemon on it and let it sit a few minutes, then rinse, also you can use baking soda and make a paste with water and rub on it let it sit a few minutes and then rinse...

I keep mine clean AND DRY all the time. I would soak it in a mild bleach solution, rinse well and dry it out completely.

Vacuum it up and thdn wipe/mop it with a cloth and water. It's a good idea to wear a dust mask and some gloves when applying and cleaning up DE.

Clean it per the instructions using an 80% water 20% muriatic acid solution. Soak for 10 minutes. Rinse with fresh water. Mine did the same. I cleaned it and it works like new again.

Just clean it with water. I fill up the water every couple hours. So It can get cooler.

Honestly, I am not sure about how to clean. I guess if I needed to, I would do a spot cleaning...with a gentle detergent like Woolite and a brush. That is my guess. I do not have a lot of traffic on that bench.....it is in my kitchen nook around my table with many ladder back chairs....so it is rarely used. I do love it still. I hope this helps!

When it was new I rinsed it with 50/50 water and vinegar to clean it the first time. I usually just put a little dish soap in it now "just a drop or two" fill it half full of water, shake it really good and rinse a few times.

I use water and brush it.. Sometimes I will put a little baking soda on the tip of the brush. Vinegar works too.
